A pre-war mobilization meeting is held not only to explain the situation to all generals, but also to boost morale.
Long Chen didn't say any big words, but explained from the perspective of two weapons that the balance of power had changed, making everyone determined to win.
Master Ziyun said that Long Chen was good at inspiring people, and that was what he was talking about.
Rather than shouting slogans, it is more persuasive to talk about big things from small incisions and specific things.
"In addition to the Holy Sword and the Phoenix Wing Boring, I made some new firearms, which are more powerful than the original muskets and artillery."
"You can ask General Mei Yu. The new firearms in her hand have been deployed."
Long Chen looked at Mei Yu, and everyone's eyes also moved towards Mei Yu.
"Yes, King Wu asked Linglong Pavilion to forge new firearms, which are very powerful."
With so many people watching, Mei Yu was a little nervous.
"I've finished what I've said, what else do you have to say?"
Long Chen looked at the empress and then at the other generals.
After waiting for a while, no one spoke. Long Chen looked at the empress, who said: "Okay, that's the end of today's discussion. The generals will act according to the battle plan set by King Wu."
The empress stood up, the generals stood up, and the empress left the meeting hall.
Long Chen said: "After the generals go back, tell everyone the content of today's discussion and let everyone know that this is the final decisive battle. After this battle, I will lead them to counterattack the ghost clan's lair and completely destroy the ghost clan!"
The generals were very happy to hear this, and they also wanted to end the war as soon as possible.
"Let's break up."
The generals slowly dispersed, and the news that the ghost tribe was about to arrive and that Long Chen and the empress were holding magical weapons quickly spread throughout the three armies.
The news reached Ma Town, and people in the world made final preparations, intending to gain more benefits in the final battle.
...
Li Chengdao stood in the snow with his lieutenants. The sleigh of Wu Sheng and the ghost girl came slowly. Behind him were the demon spirits and the ghost generals of the Yue generation. One hundred thousand ghost soldiers were walking forward listlessly behind, and the ghost puppets were further behind. The end is as far as the eye can see.
"Slave Li Chengdao, I would like to pay my respects to the King and His Majesty."
Li Chengdao stepped forward quickly, kneeling to the side with his lieutenant to salute.
"Get up."
Wu Sheng nodded slightly, while the ghost girl looked indifferent.
After marching for a long time, the ghost girl was also very tired.
Every attack had to start from the Hera Pass and travel a long distance before arriving at the battlefield.
"Is there any news about Cheng Hui's return?"
Before the expedition, Wu Sheng ordered Cheng Hui to lead the ghost spies to set off first and sneak into Yanmen Pass to collect information.
When the army marches here, Cheng Hui should know that he will send someone back with news.
Li Chengdao reported truthfully: "No news has come back yet. This place is still some distance from Yanmen Pass. Commander Cheng Hui may not know about it. If we go further, there may be news."
Cheng Hui has a small number of people. It is not easy for them to sneak into Yanmen Pass to collect information and then send it out.
Especially since Wu Sheng has been on the march, Cheng Hui has no idea where Wu Sheng is and cannot send anyone to deliver the news.
Only when Wu Sheng approaches Yanmen Pass can Cheng Hui know that the ghost army has arrived and send someone to deliver the news.
"Well, where are the Dragon Slayers?"
Wu Sheng did not see the Dragon Slayer Army, so Li Chengdao immediately reported: "Set up camp fifty miles ahead."
Wu Sheng turned to the ghost girl and said, "Should we camp here, or should we go further?"
The ghost girl looked at the ghost soldiers behind her and said, "We will set up camp and rest before advancing to Yanmen Pass."
The ghost soldiers were exhausted from the long journey, and the ghost girl was worried that Long Chen would be waiting for work to sneak up on him.
The Martial Saint ordered to rest on the spot, the demon spirit sent the order, and a hundred thousand ghost soldiers fell on the snow.
...
Jinling City.
The cold wind blew into Jinling City. Pedestrians on the street put on thick clothes, and the soldiers on the city walls also put on winter clothes.
Li Xiannan was sitting in the general's mansion, holding a piece of intelligence sent from the south.
To the southwest of Nanliang, Ji Xianxian stationed hundreds of thousands of troops there. Military supplies and grain were purchased from Nanliang, and the Dragon Gang's business was still going on.
In order to deal with the Tianxiahui, Long Chen gave part of the Tianxiahui's industry to the Long Gang. Now the Dragon Gang occupies an absolute dominant position in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In Nanliang, the Dragon Gang was suppressed by Li Chengdao. After Li Chengdao's fall, the Dragon Gang quickly recovered and its industries spread all over Nanliang.
The Long Gang was successful in destroying Nanliang. Long Chen and the Empress tacitly allowed them to expand their industry, and Long Chen also gave Ji Xianxian funding.
Li Xiannan has been secretly monitoring Ji Xianxian's actions to ensure that they will not cause trouble.
After reading the information, Li Xiannan was a little worried.
Gongsun Ming walked in from outside and asked, "What's wrong? I see you are worried."
Li Xiannan handed the information to Gongsun Ming and said, "Take a look."
Gongsun Ming received the information. After reading it, he was a little surprised and said: "I heard that the leader of the Dragon Gang is very powerful. Even King Wu praised her as a peerless genius. The Holy One also said that this woman is not inferior to King Wu. How could this happen?"
Li Xiannan shook his head slightly and said: "There are so many geniuses in the world, and everyone is dead. You may have encountered a ruthless person."
Gongsun Ming worriedly said: "If Ji Xianxian can't deal with it, if it spreads to our territory, things will be in trouble. Yanmen Pass in the north is still fighting with the ghost tribe, and we can't cause trouble to the Holy Lord and King Wu."
Li Xiannan shook his head and sighed: "I hope the Dragon Gang can withstand it, at least until the war at Yanmen Pass in the north is over."
As long as the ghost tribe is defeated and Long Chen is free, the trouble in the southwest will not be a trouble.
Li Xiannan believed that there was no problem that Long Chen couldn't solve.
"We need to be prepared. If the Dragon Gang cannot withstand it, we must ensure border security."
Gongsun Ming felt that we must be prepared. Li Xiannan nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, we must be prepared."
The two immediately planned to deal with possible crises in the southwest.
...
Yanmen Pass.
Long Chen was sitting in the empress' room, with Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi also beside him.
"Feng He sent a message saying that Wu Sheng and Li Chengdao had stopped to rest. They are three days away from Yanmen Pass."
Xichang spies were still monitoring the ghost clan's movements. When Wu Sheng stopped to rest, Feng He immediately sent a message to Yanmen Pass.
"After coming out of the Hera Pass and walking here, the ghost tribe must be very tired."
Long Chen was not surprised. The ghost clan traveled a long distance and must take a rest before heading into the army.
Di Luoxi saw the fighter plane and said: "Thousands of miles away to fight, this is a tired force, we can make a sneak attack."
The empress looked at Long Chen, who shook his head slightly and said: "No, the Martial Saint stopped to rest, which means they know that their soldiers are tired, and they will definitely prepare for sneak attacks. It is useless to do so."
A sneak attack is about taking someone by surprise and catching them off guard.
If the enemy knows that he is going to make a sneak attack, he will be on guard and will not be able to achieve the effect of the sneak attack, and may even end up losing his life.
"But it's a pity to let them rest where they are."
Emperor Lingyi also felt that a sneak attack was not advisable, but it would be too wasteful not to do something while watching the ghost soldiers rest.
"This time we have the advantage and we must fight steadily. It will take three days from Yanmen Pass to reach the place where Wu Sheng is stationed. By then we will be exhausted."
The empress did not agree with the idea of a sneak attack, and advocated a steady attack, since she would have the advantage anyway.
"I agree with Your Majesty's idea. We won't do a sneak attack this time, just face them head-on."
Long Chen rejected Di Luoxi's idea of a sneak attack. Instead of a sneak attack this time, he would fight a head-on battle.
"Where are Yuwenkai and the others?"
The empress suddenly asked about Yu Wenkai. They had led more than 10,000 Long family troops to march north for some time.
